This Episode: The Wonder Years (ABC)vs The Vampire Diaries (CW)

Episode 6 - "I Don't Care, I'm Here For the Friendship" Psychos Unite! It is a glorious day on TVD. We finally get to watch the delight that is the USA Network's long running buddy dramedy Psych! We discuss the confusing resolutions, Shawn & Gus' epic Friendship, Shawn & Juliet's chemistry and Henry's unique parenting style. Everything about Psych is pure Joy even when it isn't making sense.

This Episode: Freaks and Geeks (NBC) - I'm with the Band vs Girlfriends and Boyfriends

Episode 5 - “This Pilot Is The Most You’ll Ever Like David Brent” Get ready to cringe with the show that launched Ricky Gervais (plus co-creator Stephen Merchant… plus Martin Freeman… plus Steve Carrell, plus everyone involved) to stardom, and created a worldwide mega-franchise, THE OFFICE. A slice of life that cuts very, very close to home for all those 9-5 workbugs out there, or anyone who has ever had to take orders from someone stupider than themselves, the office punches above it’s weight in heart, laughs, and cultural impact. David Brent is the antihero you never knew you wanted until you saw him, at which point he became the antihero you never, ever wanted to meet in real life.

THIS IS IT! For the bonusodes this season, we each get to pick a show that we absolutely must talk about. Saskia chose this gem, which continues to be amazing and awesome, even in its 22nd season - we love you, South Park! Please keep going forever

Episode 4 - "This man is not a doctor, he is a menace! Yes, he’s a public health disaster!" In which we swoon over David Morse & a young Denzel Washington & agree that if you have to yell that you're not being racist, you most definitely being racist. From 1982, this is only our second medical drama on the donut! There's a lot to love in this show about a run-down hospital with more crazy characters than we could count. Did we mention it also stars Ed Begley Jr.?

Episode 3 - "They're the 'Holy Shit this is F*cking Bad, Help Us' Cops" Erik joins the TVD crew even though he's an avowed Procedural hater. We make a ton of false claims, including #OTH's Dan Scott having a baboon heart, and Lost Paradise being a 70's TV Series. #FakeNews. Saskia and Hannah callously judge people's reactions in traumatic high stress situations and we witness one of TVs ugliest Meet-Cutes Ever. Also, we learn that Mom's Love Hugh Dillon! And we do too!

Episode 2 - “Old Men Who Aren’t Cops Anymore” Creators Nigel McCrery and Roy Mitchell have given a workaholic career police officer a monumental task: bringing a bunch of strange old men a second career in law enforcement. We discuss the ethics of blackmail, clairvoyants in police work, naps, the misuse of tea-boys, cheating sadsacks, dealing with loss by talking to your dead wife, actor Dennis Waterman's GENIUS theme song, the many charms of Amanda Redman, and just how you can balance crime, drama, and comedy against each other in a single show.

This Episode: One Tree Hill (The WB) vs Skins (E4)

Episode 1 - "There's A Box With The Names On It, Of All The Agents Around The World" A&E's The Beast falls victim to many cliches, but is it worth it just to see Patrick Swayze's last performance? Perhaps... A crime drama like many others, we do not hold back our feelings about this one. Please, enjoy!

Episode 22 - "Do You Want Us To Like Your Main Characters?" On the Season 4 Finale of TV Donut we encroach on Clash of the Teen Drama Titans territory with this Superbad knock-off sex comedy that feels like a movie we might have liked in the 80s when we didn't know better. (Shame on US)Piers and Hannah disagree on the music and Saskia just wants this racist, sexist, charmless mess to be over (Shame on MTV). Enjoy!

*WARNING - EXPLICIT BRITISH LANGUAGE* Another Donut season nearly over, we recap the shows we loved the most & those we didn't love at all. Happy Thursday!!!

Episode 21 - “100%, This Is A Lie" The TV Donut gangle tackle David Cross' oft-resurrected UK/USA co-production, THE INCREASINGLY POOR DECISIONS OF TODD MARGARET, in the penultimate episode of season 4! Lies stack upon lies in this over-the-top farce that sees David Cross playing the ultimate schlub - the world's most frustrating man that still manages to somehow get you on his side. Today's donut may contain inveterate liars, pyramid schemes, toxic masculinity, gross-out gags, energy drink logistics, psychopathic manipulations, and an apartment in Portland full of dead animals.

This Episode: Greek (ABC Family)vs Joan of Arcadia (CBS)

Episode 20 - "I'm Fucking Left With Patsy?!" SPOILER ALERT, this is a Special Donut that will spoil the series. Proceed with caution. Special Guest Jake Hiltz's deepest desire finally came true. We landed on the Sopranos, his favorite show of all time! We let him choose his two favorite episodes of the series, as we'd all seen it before, and ended up watching the penultimate episodes of both Season 5 & 6, "Long Term Parking" & "The Blue Comet", two of the series most heartbreaking. We talk about the ups and downs of the Soprano family & the shows greatest characters and moments. Hope you like it as much as we love the show!

Episode 19 - “Eric Schweig Doesn’t Need a Name” Once again, a roll of the dice brings us back up to the great white north with one of Canada’s better known productions, DUE SOUTH. The surprise hit story of a modern-day Dudley Doright exiled in Chicago, Paul Gross and Paul Haggis made it “cool” to be polite. The Donut Gang sit down to discuss several dozen dead caribou, ghost dads, the clues provided by a person’s nose, 90s TV actors, Canadian stereotypes, Canadian rage, our 13th Prime Minister, wolves, and the mysterious character of Eric Schweig. If there was ever a show due for a reboot, DUE SOUTH is it. Tune in, and find out why.
